Amitabh Bachchan has surpassed all heroes this year.

His films Bunty Aur Babli, Black, Sarkar and Waqt: Race Against Time have done a business of Rs 1 billion already. Quite an achievement for a man who will turn 63 on October 11.

This December, Amitabh will be seen in Ek Ajnabee, co-starring Arjun Rampal, Perizaad Zorbian, Kelly Dorjee and Vikram Chatwal.

The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, who had earlier directed Abhishek Bachchan in Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost.

Ek Ajnabee film is about a man (Amitabh) who loses interest in life, until he meets an eight-year-old girl. Bachchan's character has been hired by the girl's father to protect her from being kidnapped. 

The film was completed in 40 days, in a start-to-finish schedule in Bangkok, Thailand.
